Chicago for Chicagoans is a pay-what-you-can walking tour service, designed to give locals a fresh perspective on their Chicago neighborhoods. Through collaboration with residents, the project strives to empower others to share the history of their city with their own neighbors.

Patti organizes new tours of new neighborhoods each month, and works with others to research and present the tours in communities around the city.

Atlas Obscura can be explained as a three-part organization: an online, collaborative atlas of off-the-beaten path, curious places; a collection of stories related to those places; and a series of real-world explorations that celebrate a different way of looking at the world.

As a Field Agent for the Chicago Obscura Society, Patti plans tours, scavenger hunts, behind-the-scenes explorations, & other events throughout the Chicago area.
